Khayr Posted July 26, 2006 More of the 44yr old Ahmed Waryadhaa, he looks like Napolean! Sabaxad yaa oodeeba Michelle! :mad: Anyone watching the current Big Brothers? You know they have one in Thailand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 26, 2006 I was in the UK recently and the thing was unavoidable. Everywhere, newspapers, adverts BB this and BB that. Its a digusting show where a bunch dumb and wierd people are put together for all to view. Add some alcohol and games then you have what the viewers want. The topic of conversation in offices up and down the country is BB :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khayr Posted July 26, 2006 It is ajeeb/strange that these shows have come to exist in such a vaccum. Meaning in a matter of 4-5yrs, these shows have become worldwide. Popping up in many host countries that are trying to mimick these idiocies. By the waym, the U.S. BB shows are very tame compared to the UK and other euro BB shows.

N.O.R.F Posted July 26, 2006 You look at TV in the west today. There are hardly any programmes one could benefit/learn from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Resistance Posted July 26, 2006 ^^ Com'n North there are plenty of educational and beneficial shows on T.V. Take EastEnders for example, you learn the thinking of a considerable majority in this country and get to pick up a bit of Cockney along the way. And remember Brookside ... i have a weak spot for scouser lasses kidder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 26, 2006 Glad i dont have that problem,,,, ps whats going on in Eastenders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Resistance Posted July 26, 2006 Com'n am sure u keep ureself apdated through their BBC site admit it North. I have not watched Enders for months and months, but if i was there was any interesting story lines i would have by now through the girls at work, so i guess is all lame up in Albert Square.

Valenteenah. Posted July 26, 2006 Move over BB... Hello [Celebrity] Love Island! Trash TV..err, sorry, I mean reality shows are popular everywhere, aren't they? It's akin to viewing a horrific roadside crash. Nothing beats property and gardening shows. My evenings and weekends are spent watching programmes like Location, Location, Location; Property Ladder; Put Your Money Where Your House Is; Weed it and Reap; Would You Buy a House With a Stranger?; Increase Your House Price By £10K... etc., etc. Educational and entertaining. Thank God for E4 & UKTV! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God for E4 & UKTV! Why so many shows of late, about fixing up homes and prices of homes etc.? Less shows about family life and the nuclear family. A home is no longer viewed as a place to raise a family but rather, a place to make Money and more Money and more Money. :rolleyes: SubhanAllah, we live in a world full of empty shells.

Valenteenah. Posted July 26, 2006 ^ There are plenty of shows about family life and stuff. Am just not interested in watching them. A home is no longer viewed as a place to raise a family but rather, a place to make Money and more Money and more Money. What's wrong with doing both? Properties are commodities, an investment into your (and your children's) future. So why not raise your children while making money out of your home also? It makes perfect sense to me. SubhanAllah, we live in a world full of empty shells. If only that was so, I would be able to find one to live in. There really should be more empty shells out there.
